A business series without a 5Gb/s network controller in 2023 is already nonsense and obviously a fig solution. Without such a controller, you cannot connect at full speed to an office or home NAS. In theory, 5Gb/s RJ45 controllers should have been in even the cheapest laptops for 5 years already, as well as usb 3.0+ ports...
Completely nonsense. 5Gb controller costs much more than 2,5Gb controller, same goes for switches and the most important, cabling. You can run 2,5Gb without issues on Cat5e for reasonable distances, like your home. 5Gb is not going to work. High bandwidth may be nice for high definition videos, but even then, you are likely to use local storage, fibre channel or something exotic, not ethernet. 1Gbe is more than adequate for loading Excel spreadsheets, word-documents and cad-files!
High speed controllers and associated switches also use more energy than one GbE devices. And I can tell you, most home-NAS devices still have only one GbE port(s). If you want 2,5GbE, it's going to be more advanced and expensove device, not basic home-NAS. And once again there are good reasons: cost, cabling requirements and no real need.
T14s is perfectly capable laptop with 1 GbE port, and there's no need for 2,5 GbE in business laptop, nor there's need for one in engineering workstation.
